here comes the bride.

My dear friend Marie got married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 20th and I was lucky enough to be one of her bridesmaids.
The whole day was so lovely and such a special experience.
Our day started out with the wedding luncheon at the Lion House on Temple Square.
The food was to die for and I took full advantage of clearing my plate :)

After lunch we had a break for a few hours, so Becca, Abby and I went shopping at Gateway.
We randomly ran into a bunch of friends at Anthropologie & that was a fun surprise!

After that, we headed to the temple to see Marie & Devin come out of the temple and take pictures with the wedding party.
She. Looked. Gorgeous.
& so happy! I caught some great candids of the special moment.

The reception that night was so pretty.
It was in a greenhouse!
Becca, Abby and I took the liberty of exploring and taking loads of pictures to entertain ourselves while the guests greeted the happy couple in line.
Becca and I both wore really tall heels and immediately regretted it.
Our feet were literally stinging by the end of the night.

[No Prince, but it was worth a try...]

Becca was the winner of the bouquet toss :)

I'm so happy for Marie and know she made a great decision in marrying Devin.
They are so great together.

Here's a quick trip down memory lane...
